The Walkin' Dead

The Walkin’ Dead:Trickin’,
Treatin’ and Trappin’TRUTH
Minista Paul Scott“Hustle
for death/no heaven for a gangsta”The
Cool- Lupe FiascoYou
see them hangin’ around the ‘hood late at night sportin’ the same gear; white
t-shirts and saggin’ skinny jeans. At one point they had spirits, now they are
just zombies who all seem to be hearkening to the same hypnotic call. Try to
talk to them about real Hip Hop and all you get is blank stares and vicious
growls, These are the walkin’ dead who have lost their souls. Just like the
music that they have blastin’ in their headphones...Although
Hip Hop once prided itself in promoting free thought, and individuality, this is
no longer the case , as many rap fans are just zombies following the trend that
whatever the radio is playing at the moment constitutes real Hip Hop and is good
for the culture A song could be straight garbage but if its played enough, the
walkin’ dead will swear on their graves that it is the best rap ever
recorded.Although,
Nas upset many people in 2006, when he proclaimed that “Hip Hop Is Dead”,” in
retrospect , maybe it ain’t the music, Maybe its the people who listen to
it.The
mission of the wicked has not just been to destroy a people ,physically but
mentally as well. Like the creatures from the old zombie flicks, they really
want to eat your brains. For example , during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade,
the Africans could not be brought to the Americas as docile slaves until they
first went through a “seasoning process” where their spirits were broken.
This
same “breaking of the spirit” has been carried out in the United States through
various means ranging from drugs , the criminal justice system , to the mis-
educational system, all designed to create a populace of zombies that would not
question authority but do exactly as they were told. Hip
Hop has been used for this purpose ,as well , as those who claim they love the
culture have had their spirits broken so much so that they do not have the
courage to fight against the creatures of the night who are trying to destroy
it. And the results of this are becoming ever more evident.The
once vibrant dance floor has become a virtual graveyard. The music that once
celebrated Peace, Unity and Love now glorifies misogyny, murder and
mayhem.Like
Brand Nubian said on “ Just Don’t Learn,” “We dealin’ with death in
abundance/Dirty guns and /the pungent smell/of those who
fell.”Back
in the day Hip Hop was a quickening spirit with the power to wake up the dead.
Now just listening to one verse of Ratchet Rap can send you immediately into an
intellectual coma. Hip
Hop has become the Haunted House of Wack. It’s just one big costume party with
straight A students dressing up like court jesters and former correctional
officers posing as Mafia Dons. Sad thing about it is that many rap fans can’t
see that it’s all just a masquerade .Also,
as it’s been argued before, the rappers themselves are not totally to blame as
they are just little puppets being controlled
by some evil puppet masters (in the form of the heads of record labels) who hide
behind the curtain and pull the strings We
have allowed the culture vampires to suck the life out of a once great art form
and nobody is trying to throw some holy water on Count Dracula to drive him back
into his coffin.Many
don’t realize that what is now considered Hip Hop is a result of a diabolical
plan devised by some mad scientists in labs disguised as recording studios.
In the name of greed and profit the music industry has created Frankenstein
monsters to destroy a culture that has the potential to liberate poor and
oppressed communities on a global scale. Over the years, these monsters have
taken different forms but their mission has remained the same

The latest monstrous creation is “Roger
Ratchet.” He is the personification of all that is wrong with Hip Hop. A symbol
of what happens when a culture loses its soul. Roger Ratchet is like the
despised Disco Duck of the 70’s . He is the Hip Hop equivalent of George
Clinton’s arch nemesis , “Sir Nose D’Void of Funk” who dedicated his miserable
life fighting against “ The P-Funk Mob.”At
some point somebody has to exorcise this demon out of Hip Hop. Whether , they
use a stake through the heart or a silver bullet, somebody has to return Ratchet
Rap back to the dark evil pit that it slid out of.

In
order for Hip Hop to live, Roger Ratchet must die. So on October 31st
(Halloween) we are asking that the fans of real Hip Hop join us in the “ Death
to Roger Ratchet Campaign" as we bury Ratchet Rap once and for all.
Join
us in yelling with a loud united voice
